Conjecture and not Fact??? once the piston in the pot has retracted and even before the Mats have been picked up by the first elevator, with the clutch, hand operated mechanism used manually, *inch* the m/c. over and have 2/3 extra sets of eyes looking ON/IN…
Just a thought!! if it be rubbish or already posted previously, apologies.

if you can, or want to, get some machinist “bluing”,(this may come in red) the liquid, not the paste. start putting it on suspect areas. the contact spot should show with a mark in the coating. once found and solved, it can be wiped away with solvent.

A.D. thank you for the *Nod* on Sunday next, 10/04/`16 will be in sight of Both Lino and Intertype, if you have not resolved the situation (by then) will take of shots of both, with the Vice and delivery mechanism swung IN and swung OUT and down.

Just one E Mail to > [email protected] < may well prove very helpful, as well! They are as good as their Blog implies… If not better.?
